Chapter 106: Chapter 106: General Manager Jian’s Mighty Presence

"Disciplining my own wife? Do you think I’m sick in the head like you?"

Si Junyan’s face instantly turned fouler than if he’d eaten shit.

He was furious. "Big Brother, Sister Meng is here! What are you saying?"

Si Yuhuan, his handsome face cold as ice, said, "Get out."

Si Junyan still wanted to say more, but Jiang Qimeng directly dragged him out.

"Sister Meng, why are you pulling me away?!"

Jiang Qimeng clenched her fists tightly, suppressing the anger in her heart. "Alright, give him some time to think things through. Your making a scene won’t achieve anything. You’ll just make him angrier at you, and it’s not worth it."

"He has changed," Jiang Qimeng said, tears streaming down her face.

Si Junyan’s heart ached for her. "Sister Meng, don’t worry. As long as I’m in the Si Family, I won’t let Jian Xi lord it over you." NovelFire

Jiang Qimeng bit her back molars hard. "Of course."

You useless oaf! How could I ever count on you! Correct content is on NovelFire

Once Si Junyan and Jiang Qimeng left, Si Yuhuan immediately pressed the intercom, instructing Yan Qing, "Have Li Bin come over right now."

Li Bin arrived promptly. As he pushed open the door and saw Si Yuhuan’s dark expression, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath before handing over the documents he was holding. "Director Si, these are the documents CEO Jian gave me before I came. She asked me to deliver them to you personally."

Si Yuhuan frowned slightly. "She knows all about it?"

Li Bin gave a bitter smile. "CEO Jian is very smart."

Some things were self-evident.

"I sent you there to manage the company! She doesn’t understand anything! If she messes up Yaowang, which I worked so hard to acquire..."

Si Yuhuan looked at the documents in disbelief. "She negotiated all these herself?"

It was somewhat incredible that Du Mingrui, the famous "goddess of otaku," after signing with New Fashion Entertainment Media, had signed a low-cost yet high-output contract with Yaowang.

An endorsement fee of five million a year, and she still had to participate in commercial events. If any issues arose, a twenty-fold penalty would apply. The hidden clauses were even more favorable to Yaowang; her legal background was evident.

In addition, Jian Xi had signed several new leading live-streamers and celebrity endorsers at prices below the market rate.

Her keen sense of market trends was like that of an old fox.

"Keep reading," Li Bin urged. He was already thoroughly impressed by Jian Xi; she was fast becoming his idol.

As Si Yuhuan read to the end, he threw the documents onto the floor. "Shameless!"

Yan Qing picked them up and glanced over them.

Jian Xi had leveraged Phoenix Night to transform Yaowang Group’s exhibition into a top-tier live-streamed banquet, inviting famous domestic and international models for a runway show. She even named the unprecedented event "Fashion Carnival Night."

It had been decided that every November 22nd would be "Fashion Carnival Night."

The event was a massive entertainment sensation, making headlines both domestically and internationally, even topping front pages overseas.

The Yaowang brand was now thoroughly established.

"The Madam certainly knows how to leverage opportunities," Yan Qing secretly admired.

Si Yuhuan was fuming. "So, opportunism is considered a skill now, is it?"

"A company almost as renowned as Yaowang has been under Miss Jiang’s management for half a year without any improvement. It’s barely staying afloat, relying on constant capital injections from Haohan Group. Isn’t the Madam impressive by comparison?" Yan Qing couldn’t help muttering.

Si Yuhuan shot him a deadly glare, and he immediately shut up.

Li Bin couldn’t help but speak up for Jian Xi. "Actually, CEO Jian was indeed quite unfamiliar with many things at first. However, she was diligent and eager to learn, often working incredibly hard, much like you, Director Si. Truly, when a husband and wife are of one mind, their combined efforts can break metal."

"Get out!" Si Yuhuan’s voice was sharp and stern.

Li Bin and Yan Qing, heads bowed, scurried out.

Once outside, they exchanged a glance. Director Si had dominated the business world for many years; this was probably the first time he’d been bested.

Amazing!

"Jian Xi! You’ve really got some nerve!" Si Yuhuan felt as if someone had lit a fire in his chest, his anger reaching its peak.

ACHOO—

Jian Xi lay on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket, sneezing.

Aunt Zhang stepped forward. "Miss Jian, are you cold because you wore too little at the banquet? Should I make you some ginger tea?"

"No need. Just plain water is fine," Jian Xi replied.

She was already experiencing morning sickness. Now, aside from sour and spicy things, she disliked anything with a strong flavor.

The younger maid glanced at Jian Xi and, seizing the opportunity while Aunt Zhang went to fetch water, sidled up to her. "Miss Jian, you barely ate anything tonight. Are you not feeling well?"

Jian Xi raised an eyebrow. "Don’t ask what you shouldn’t."

"Yes, yes, of course," the younger maid said. "I was just concerned about your well-being. I wondered if our food wasn’t to your taste. We can prepare something different tomorrow."

Jian Xi looked at her with a meaningful smile.

Just as the younger maid was struggling under her gaze, she heard Jian Xi say, "Spicy diced chicken, fish in sour soup. The spicier and sourer, the better."

The younger maid nodded repeatedly, breaking into a nervous sweat as she retreated.

Soon, the news that Jian Xi liked sour and spicy foods reached Jiang Qimeng’s ears.

At that moment, Du Mingrui had dragged Jiang Qimeng out and was complaining about how outrageous Jian Xi was. Jian Xi kept scheduling commercial appearances for her, and Du Mingrui felt like her legs were about to break from all the running around.

"This Jian Xi is clearly trying to suppress my development! If I’d known things in the domestic market were worse than abroad, I wouldn’t have come here just to spite Jian Chuxin!" she pounded the table, then looked at the preoccupied Jiang Qimeng. "So what if you embarrassed yourself at the banquet? In our line of work, who has it easy all the time? You’re being too hard on yourself. It’s nothing..."

"Jian Chuxin is Jian Xi’s second older brother." Jiang Qimeng had only learned this after Phoenix Night.

She was so furious she could have spat blood.

Every time she thought she was about to seize the spotlight and crush Jian Xi, Jian Xi would somehow find a benefactor.

Si Junyan had expended considerable effort to discover that Zhang Xuan had merely been acting in concert with Jian Chuxin, all to pave Jian Xi’s path to success.

This grudge, she had to repay!

Upon hearing this, Du Mingrui’s anger flared. "What? I actually signed with Jian Chuxin’s sister?"

She stood up abruptly. "I’m going to find Jian Xi and terminate the contract."

"Don’t be impulsive," Jiang Qimeng said, holding her wrist. "Have you forgotten the terms you agreed to when you joined New Fashion Entertainment Media, which was rapidly gaining traction in the country?"

An astronomical penalty for breach of contract, a three-year ban on commercial appearances and variety shows, and no public appearances...

That’s tantamount to being completely blacklisted and shelved!

"Foolish!" Du Mingrui slapped her forehead. "It’s all my fault."

She shouldn’t have tried to curry favor with Jiang Qimeng by deliberately antagonizing Jian Xi, only to be outmaneuvered by her. Now, being at Jian Xi’s mercy was unbearable.

Jiang Qimeng offered a timely suggestion, "Although you have to work for Jian Xi now, there are many ways to ’work.’ You have such a large and devoted fanbase. How you choose to manage things is up to you, isn’t it?"

Du Mingrui looked as if a lightbulb had gone on. "Do you have a good idea?"

Jiang Qimeng whispered in her ear.

After hearing it, Du Mingrui was shocked. "If I do that, I could go to jail!"

"Nonsense! What would it have to do with you? At most, you’d be considered to have been coerced! The real culprit would be Jian Xi! She’s the one who’s too impatient for success!"

"Alright, we’ll do it your way." A vicious glint flashed in Du Mingrui’s eyes.
